There is nothing on my tax forms that is remotely interesting to anyone. It's all pretty standard.

But with Trump it would be a vastly different story. His tax returns are complicated; Everything is set up to minimize the tax liability. On one hand there is nothing wrong with this - most of us do this to a degree. But Trump takes it to the extreme. And in the event he releases his tax forms and every one seems he really isn't paying taxes, it will look horrible. And Trump knows he can load his taxes up with a bunch of bullshit that will take a team of people at the IRS years to figure out.
